Any retailer in the Photographic industry notice any trends/hardships that may affect your future business?

Question

I am writing a potential article on the photographic industry (Minilabs, Camera shops, Retailers, Printers, Repair Shops, Photographers) in a news/gossip style column, and would be interested to hear from anyone working in this field. What trends/fashions/hardships do notice affecting your current or future business, do they worry you? How do you feel about the business right now?

Answer 1

I have a mini-lab and the business has virtually died due to the digital age. I can't compete on print prices with large supermarkets.

Answer 2

Why don't you phone some local firms....they may be happy to discuss
